A heart
that takes
courage
In Chad, JRS teams focus on protecting children, making sure they can continue their education.
Sadia was relocated to Djabal refugee camp, in the eastern part of the country. She fled Sudan alone with her nine children:
“We escaped the hostilities of war. I want peace for my children. My wish is that they can go to school in Chad.”
Ahmad, a Sudanese teacher in Djabal refugee camp, is a great role model for the children because he experienced displacement first hand in 2004. In Chad, he met JRS, that supported him in pursuing his studies.
“I tell children my own story, I also fled Sudan and now I am a teacher here. I try to explain to them that here they can feel safe, calm, and that little by little they will forget the horrors they have been through. At school, we try to build a better future for them.”

Sudan
A never-ending civil war, coupled with natural disasters, has plunged Sudan
into an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
More than 7.3 million people have been displaced,
and nearly 18 million people are facing acute hunger.
